The Political Intricacies of Dathomir Joining the Galactic Republic

In the intricate political landscape of the Star Wars universe, the idea of the planet Dathomir, its dark force-wielders the Nightsisters, and their powerful matriarch Mother Talzin joining the Galactic Republic presents a unique and complex scenario. At first glance, it would seem that accepting such a union would be a significant challenge for the Republic. This article explores the challenges and implications of this hypothetical situation, and why it might ultimately face rejection.

Dark Threat or Valuable Ally?

If the Nightsisters and their leadership, Mother Talzin, were to seek senate representation, their relationship with the Republic would likely be fraught with distrust and suspicion. The primary reason for this stems from the fear of their dark force abilities and the potential manipulation of the Senate. The Nightsisters, known for their dark magics and malevolent practices, would undoubtedly be viewed as a significant threat.

The Potential Rejection by the Senate

Acceptance into the Galactic Republic would require a reevaluation of the Republic's fundamental principles and the potential for the Nightsisters to be exploited. The fear of the Senate members being influenced by any of the witches representing Dathomir would be a significant concern. This fear would only be heightened by the fact that Darth Maul, the apprentice of Chancellor/ Sith Lord Palpatine, is Mother Talzin’s son.

The Nightsisters’ Perspective

From the perspective of the Nightsisters, their goals and desires clearly do not align with the objectives of the Galactic Republic. Dathomir, their home planet, is a place of swirling Dark side energies that enable them to perfect their dark magics and enslave the planet. Their isolationist views and refusal to have tourists align with their desire to be left alone.

Moreover, allowing a known Dark side group a voice in the Senate would necessitate significant "adjustments" by the Nightsisters, which they are unlikely to make. They have no intention of giving up their hold on their world for any Republic benefits. Their refusal to be integrated into the Republic would ensure that their world remains an isolated and unchanging sanctuary.

The Jedi’s Stance

Another key factor is the influence of the Jedi Order. The Jedi were the government, and the Republic was a theocracy. The Jedi Knight-Admirals, as a result of these laws, were bound by oath and law to defend the Republic. However, it was under the sway of Palpatine that the Jedi Order eventually fell under the direct control of the Senate.

However, the Jedi vigilance against the Nightsisters would likely play a significant role in preventing Dathomir's admission to the Republic. The Jedi would strongly petition the Senate to deny Dathomir's admission, citing the malevolent nature of the Nightsisters, their dark magics, and their recent history of slavery. The Jedi would argue that it would be wiser to isolate Dathomir and prevent the witches with their male slaves from having any representation in the government.

The Decision of the Republic

The Republic would likely listen to the Jedi's concerns. The Republic has a history of working with the Jedi, allowing them to take infants and train them in secrecy, as well as providing cortosis and kyber crystals to the Jedi Order. These commitments demonstrate the Republic's willingness to support the Jedi's goals, even if it means making concessions.

Given the Republic's constitutional and practical needs, the Senate would likely be inclined to agree with the Jedi's stance. The Republic's history of a thousand years fracturing into the First Order reflects the perilous nature of such decisions. The Nightsisters' potential for destabilization and manipulation would outweigh any benefits they could bring to the Republic.

In conclusion, the acceptance of Dathomir into the Galactic Republic would be a tenuous relationship at best. The Nightsisters’ desire for isolation and the Jedi's vigilance against the Nightsisters' dark magics and malevolent practices would likely prevent Dathomir and its representatives from ever gaining a seat in the Senate. The complex political landscape of the Star Wars universe ensures that such decisions would be met with significant scrutiny and resistance.
